Best movie of this year hands down!

The Worst Film Ever

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Judging by the reviews it seems to be a polarizing film that has determined this, rather unfair, low score. I found Regression to have an interesting premise, well written, crafted and credibly pulled off by stylish director Alejandro Amenábar. Writer/director of The Others and Open your Eyes, as well as writer of the English version, Vanilla Sky. A classic thriller with a classic twist. Worth watching.

This film has the ability to be a lot better than it was, with a great angle of the satanism abuse, it reminded me of a real life story here in the uk. This one is clearly based on true events, but perhaps wasn't as engaging in the beginning as the end and it's easy to get lost in somebif the story. That being said it's a worthy watch and perhaps one that becomes more clear with a second viewing.

**** May there be spoilers **** This is one film that you will need a certain state of mind to appreciate it and enjoy it. The plot, while weak, is gripping enough to keep your attention through the slow pace of the film, Acting is not exactly top notch but good enough to be believable, some better than others. The film will take you, at a slow pace, through a mounting aprehension of a tragic ending, only to defuse it at the very last minutes. Don't expect Hitchcock but it is a very watchable movie that, while leaving a lot of unexploited areas, does wonders on a format suitable for theaters. Solid direction, a good --not jaded- argument, fine camera and cutting, over average acting, and best of all a cohesive use of the limited resources of a lo-bud production.

Psychological thriller with a few suspenseful, sometimes overdone effects, that seem a bit strange i a way. In the end you will realize why though, it is part of the movies message. A bit obvious plot twist also. I enjoyed the film nevertheless, but could not give it a 9 or 10. 8 fits well in my opinion. I recommend to watch it if you are interested in mystery police thrillers (would not call it horror flick). People who review the movie as under 5 have either not payed attention or had unrealistic expectations from the start, I guess.
